Goods Clerks.
special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX. Jan. 3l.-Some excite
ment was caused on the avenue this after
noon by very serious stsbbing affray
between two clerks in the dry goods store
of Schoolherr & Bro. The names of the
young men are John Mcmillan and
Michael Grinnell. They became involved
in personal difficulty, during which Nc
MILAN drew large pocket knife snd
made lunge at Grinnell over the coun-
ter and stabbed him badly, the knife evil
IDENTIFY reaching the interior of the intes-
tines. The stricken man, as soon as
stabbed, rushed from the store out on the
sidewalk, where ne fell. He was carried
back into the store and medical assistance
was at once summoned. The doors were
closed, and it was impossible at the time
to get an entrance and learn from the
proprietors or employees any of the par
ticulars. The wound is one of the most
serious character, however and the vic
tim will most likely die. The blade, from
appearances, pierced the cavity, and in
ternal bleeding evidently resulted, IS
Grlnnell did not outwardly bleed so pro
fusely. Immediately after the difficulty
Mcmillan was arrested, and was after
wards taken before Justice Calh0uns.
